3. What financial principles do I need to know?
The successful administrative management of a sponsored project is a partnership shared by principal investigators and departmental/school/central administrators. Ultimately, however, the PI is responsible to ensure that the costs charged to their sponsored project are allowable and directly benefit the project.
Emory clinical research personnel are required to utilize the standardized fee schedules for pricing any items, services, or procedures done at The Emory Clinic and the Emory University Hospitals for the development of Clinical Research budgets.
4. What do I need to know in case of audit?
The University is audited on a regular basis. Audits fall into two categories – internal and external. The
Internal Audit Division (IAD) carries out most internal audits and operational reviews at Emory.
The IAD website also has the financial hotline number (1-888-550-8850) and information including FAQs about reporting financial irregularities, questionable practices and malfeasance.
There are a number of types of external audits. The OSP webpage on
audits reviews all internal and external audits and what should be done in the event of an audit.
